My teenage son just reminded me that phantom limb syndrome is proof positive that pain is in the mind.

A missing limb that itches or feels pain should, under normal circumstances, convince the reasonable person that those sensations occur in the mind.

Thank your son for the great catch!

You would think so, Dataman! Thanks for the great observation.

When you say "the mind", do you mean the brain, or some faculty that would continue to feel pain if the brain were removed?
